Too much ice, not enough ice. Popcorn too salty, not enough salt. Cheerleaders too pretty, don't show enough, show too much. We didn't win by enough points, we won by too many points. Even if a certain person comes back, they chose not to be happy anyway.

The wrinkled $100 bill paradox, which I believe is mentioned in the legendary missing stanza of "Glory to the Green".

Hodge headed to UNT

If he ends up here in the Fall, that if very excellent news IMO.

If McCasland brings his entire staff then that makes his hire all that much better, especially if the assistants bring along their recent recruits and their pipeline of recruits.  Will be interesting to see how it shakes out and whether or not any of the recruits come along with the staff and whether or not the staff is able to keep the keep players already in Denton/signed.

Has Jareem Dowling been mentioned at UNT?
He recruited the 6'10" Russian we signed.

I don't think anyone has mentioned him.

We've been trying to make sure to contact all the potential recruits from Duncanville. I don't think we've had a coach assigned to Pretropavlosk yet.

Hodge wasn't short list at AState.

Do you think it was more "he's not right" or "he's too tied to the old guy?" Of course the second could be a reason not to be right.

Dowling, along with all other assistants are rumored to be joining McCasland in Denton.

Whatever McCasland wants, however I assume NT has a bigger assistant budget.    It is his chance to upgrade the staff from what he had at ASU.   I just don't believe that all of his ASU assistants are the best he can hire.

If it means a 9-game improvement in the win column in their first season here (like they did in Jonesboro), then bring them all.  Bring the A-State-branded basketballs you practiced with.  Bring the buffer used on the A-State basketball court... whatever it takes. 

If these guys can help McCasland win more than double the number of games Benford won last year, bring them all.

That may be true. There is also the position that the staff chemistry is right, at this time, so why break up the band. If McCasland has any weak sisters, I bet he knows who they are. My opinion is that if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it...unintended consequences and all that. JMO.

Balado was in the final group last year but the NCAA cloud was over Louisville. He was only there 8 months of the time of the assistant who got in trouble so with a clean bill of health from the NCAA go with the guy you liked a lot last year

Balado has a nice resume, except for HC experience.  Hope he is better than the career assistant that UNT hired.  ASU should be fine.  Balado is the 30th Pitino assistant that has been hired as a head coach.  There were a number of former Pitino assistants coaching teams in the tournament this year.

Anyone know when contracts for Benford's staff expire? Might explain the delay. AState has done its assistant contracts so that if the head coach leaves the assistant contracts expire at the end of that pay period. All of his guys are unemployed on Friday. 

I saw an email from UNT Athletics, quoted below:

"McCasland should have his coaching staff cleared to be announced on meangreensports.com in the next couple of days. In the next couple of weeks, coach McCasland will be hitting the recruiting trail as basketball signing day will begin on April 12, 2017."

Pretty certain there were discussions previously on here that indicated Benford's contract runs through end of March.

Presumably staff is on a similar timeline. Slow announcements likely designed to avoid paying two staffs any longer than needed. 

We are expecting Balado to name his staff Friday or Monday when McCasland's staff goes off payroll. Know for certain one is already picked but not named.

      North Texas vs Navy (10/06/2023) Score Predictions

      The odds line has went from Navy -5 to -6 points for our game. Navy hosted USF last weekend. Navy controlled the clock 31 min to 29 min (expected with a running offense). Navy rushed 48 times for 254 yds. USF 44 times for only 135 yards. However, Navy only passed 11 times for 90 yards, compared to USF passing 34 times for 338 yards. In summary Navy had 59 plays to USF's 78 plays. USF won 44-30. Navy will get their yards rushing, but we have to get a lot more passing!

      Breaking: SOC DB Kerry Williams commits to North Texas

      Last 2 games against inferior schools (Dallas Adamson & Dallas Spruce), Kerry had a 75 yard pick 6 (Adamson) and a 77 yard pick 6 against Spruce. Their overall secondary got off to a shaky start of the season but is improving.

      Game Day Experience (Week 4)

      I had a great time as I usually do. Some great observations made in this thread. I drive right at 2 hours to the games, so I got a head start on the drive home and didn’t stay for the drone show. I wanted to, but I knew I could be about halfway home by the time it ended. Glad to hear it was worth staying for though. Next time I might choose to stay. Minor complaint: Why can’t the NE scoreboard show more scores? It kept showing the same 9 scores over and over. I’ve noticed in the past they don’t show a lot of scores, but never realized it was so few. I don’t want scores constantly running, but maybe during a timeout run through 20-30 different games.

      North Texas vs Navy (10/06/2023) Score Predictions

      Who cares what the score will be. We bout to have a triple option team run for 5 hundo on us. And as ugly as that is going to be, we will still have our HC look dead eyed in the camera and tell us he believes in what the defense is doing. And THAT will be uglier than any stat line.

      Back in black on Saturday?

      Yeah, you may be right. Bad assumption on my part that they only design the uniforms and not the helmets too.
